breech- boy or girl?

My baby is frank breech and is a boy. The doctor said it has nothing to do with gender but I thought I would take a poll anyway for fun :) doesn't have to be this pregnancy- could be a previous pregnancy.

Frank breech is where the baby's legs are extended and close to his face. Complete breech is where legs are crossed and almost "Indian style" and incomplete breech/footling breech is where one leg is up an the other leg is extended downwards. Please correct me if I am off- I am no expert:)

Twinny- do you live in the US? Most doctors won't let women delivery vaginally in the US. my ob said that vaginally breech deliveries aren't even covered in their training anymore. I am interested to know more about your delivery!

Yes I delivered in NY... My doctor said she has delivered a few vaginal frank breech and felt comfortable delivering my daughter, the delivery went well!!! She was early so smaller then most. Mom gave birth to twins vaginally the first was head down the second was breech, no complications! I guess it depends on how comfortable your doc is about doing it.

Wow! That's awesome! I am in NY (not the big city - upstate). Anyway, it's great if it is an option and the doctor has experience. At our birthing class the nurse (who has been at the hospital for 22 years) said once there was a footling breech and his little foot was dangling out but nothing else - they didn't know he was breech at all until that happened. Anyway, he wouldn't progress and his heart rate dropped so off to a csection they went. I just can't imagine seeing a little foot poking out of the birth canal! That kid must be class clown by now :)

I found out at my 36 weeks appt that baby boy is breech. I guess considered incomplete/footling breech. One foot is up by his head and the other is down. I have a ultrasound every week due to gestational diabetes and he has been head down since 28 weeks so I'm hoping he just got a little wild in there last week and he will be back head down tomorrow at my U/S. My dr said something about trying to turn him in a couple weeks if he didn't hisself. That kinda makes me nervous, does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions on that?
